Offer appears to be targeted by address. As of 12 Oct there is still no report of anyone having received the bonus that was not targeted in either this or the previous $150 offer.

This beats the in-branch promo I saw recently: Get $100 when you open an account and either have at least $100 direct deposited into your account OR spend $100 with the debit card tied to that new account. Timings are similar to the one OP posted.

Although, this one is restricted to new customers, while the in-branch promo is only limited to new and existing US Bank customers that have not received a signup bonus from them in the past 6 months.

ETA: I read the fine print. While "This offer is restricted to recipients of an offer via mail or email and is not transferable," it is NOT explicitly only restricted to new customers.

US Bank gives the promo code "Present Promotion Code CK1130A to your banker or enter it online when you apply." Seems like this offer is good for any new customer.

Availability of ATM's and banking centers, thanks to being the fifth largest bank in the country?

For checking, savings and money market products, a maximum total of $500.00 can be charged when using a credit, debit or prepaid card or transferring from an account at another financial institution for your opening deposit. (VISA, MC, Discover, AMEX.)

Also, it seems the silver checking package allows you to avoid fee with $25 auto transfer to money market savings. Also upon hitting $1000 in the MM, you get a $50 visa gift card as a bonus.

I wonder if this works with opening up an HSA checking account with USBank - who also are paying 2.25% on accounts over $15k.

Edit: it looks like USBank calculates their interest in a really crappy way - tiers - so while they advertise that 15k gets 2.25%, it's only the amount OVER 15k that gets that, and the rest gets squat.

are you sure about this? Citi Cards have started treating all banks checking account funding as cash advance for several years.

2 points, I paid cash advance fee to CC MC while opening US checking account 2 weeks ago and second as per CC CS, they do not decide the purchase / transaction type but vendor sends them the transaction type. As per my understanding, here US bank is sending transaction as cash advance.

What part of "1.This offer is restricted to recipients of an offer via mail or email and is not transferable. " don't you understand?

its contradictory if you ask me, it says you can't transfer the offer, but then they give you the promo code.

Not exactly true -- the vendor codes it as purchase or cash advance, BUT the CC issuer can also RECODE it as a cash advance even if the vendor codes it as a purchase. Citi is the main issuer to do this -- regardless of what the vendor codes it as, Citi will re-code it afterwards and charge you the cash advance fee.

So basically you need both the vendor to code it correctly and the CC issuer to not re-code it, which rules out using Citi in all cases.

Any one know which credit bureau they pull? If it's TU or EQ I'm golden!

Did it come through as a purchase or cash advance? Thanks in advance for your help.

They just called me to verify my address -- they said the charge should go through this afternoon, so I'll post an update after I see it on my online transactions.

On a separate note, he had a hard time verifying if the $200 bonus was attached to my account since he said they're typically attached to whatever was mailed to the customer... so we'll see if the bonus goes through. I saved a few screenshots in case that helps out later on (since I did not get the mailing).
